PHR - Public Health Research The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has set up the Public Health Research (PHR) programme following the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review in support of the national research and development strategy, Best Research for Best Health, and the 2006 Cooksey review recommending the need for more public health research. The programme’s funding will rise to reach £10 million a year.
The scope of the NIHR Public Health Research programme is multi-disciplinary and broad. The main focus of the PHR programme’s evaluation of public health interventions will be on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. However, broader impact, as well as acceptability to the target community and wider society, are also important to the impact and sustainability of public health programmes, and, where relevant, will also be investigated.
